Refund to closed CC...

Because of the recent NY weather blow up thing, I cancelled a flight and without thinking just had gone through the motion for a refund. What I had forgotten all about was that the funds used to purchase the ticket, somehow (no idea how), were travel credits from 3 difference credit cards. Thankfully, two of them, I still have; the other, the Citi Prestige I had closed.

I called the airline, and they advised that portion originally charged on the Prestige will be refunded there, though it's closed; according to them, Citi will still accept it, and I should call them for a check. I still have a CC and checking with Citi, and not sure if that matters.

Anyone know how this is handled? Thanks.

This is fairly standard. I've had funds return to expired or closed credit cards. Some will do a direct deposit into my back account, some in the US prefer to send the paper things called checks.

I had the same thing last year with two different closed cards. One Chase card had been closed for close to a year by then but they still accepted the refunds and issued checks. I did have to request the checks though, if I recall correctly. It wasn't automatic.

Wow, thanks, guys! Being a finance guy, kind of embarrassed now that I hadn't a clue how this would have been handled.
